Utah Jazz game glance against the Philadelphia 76ers

Denver Nuggets center Nene (31), from Brazil, pulls down a rebound against Utah Jazz's Devin Harris (5) and Gordon Hayward (20) during the second quarter of an NBA basketball game Wednesday, Dec. 28, 2011, in Denver.

The Jazz haven't opened a season 0-3 in 32 years, but must be Philadelphia to avoid that dubious mark. … Playing at home should be an advantage, but Utah closed the season losing 12 of their final 16 contests at ESA (21-20 for the season.) … The Jazz play 15 of their next 20 games at home and don't have back-to-back road games until Feb. 6-7.
